| Additional information |
Bruno of Merseburg held the see from 1036, but this denier's association with Emperor Conrad II — crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 1027 — places the issue squarely within the period when episcopal minting rights in Saxony were tightly bound to imperial sanction. Conrad II was known for consolidating royal prerogatives against both secular and ecclesiastical magnates, making the collaborative imperial-bishop type on this coinage a pointed political statement rather than mere convention.
